What success looks like
Sorry, soapbox time again...
Often we think of success as a nice car, a nice house, money in the bank and the freedom to do as we choose.
Although they are the trappings of success they don't mean anything if the journey there has made you unhappy.
Whether you have money or not the first skill to learn is how to be happy.
Happiness is not external it is internal. No matter how many things you own or how much financial freedom you have if you aren't happy it will mean nothing.
How do you become a happy person?
By learning what makes you happy. You start from where you are to where you want to be and enjoy the little things on the way.
Chalk up all your happy experiences. Like the coffee you have with friends or by yourself. The movie you saw, the restaurant, the beach, riding a bicycle, making something out of nothing, reading a book, etc.
Every time you acknowledge to yourself what brings you joy, you will get more of it. Accumulating all your happy moments help you attract more of them.
The opposite is true, every time you complain or tell people your hard luck story, it keeps you there. Because when you get involved in negatives in your life you become a part of that negativity. You cannot see your way out of it.
Time to surround yourself with 'upbeat' people. We are very lucky to have quite a few here.
Enjoy what you have and have more of it.

I agree Michael. Like manifests like.
Today I think and speak onlyrics of those things that make me happy :-)
Of all the things we can do with our lives creating the happiness formula is one of the best things we can do. Definitely worth it.
I have to agree with you on that one Michael and many of us can spend a life time working that one out blessed are the ones that do. How is it all going.
Pretty good, getting into shape, which I thought would never happen...I mean, I have been so overweight for so long I thought that was my lot in life.
Absolutely Michael. When we focus on the small things and leave finance out of the equation, happiness will be there for the taking!
